UltraCat Catalytic Filters Remove PM, SO2, HCl, NOx, Dioxins, Organic HAPs, CO
NOx Control as Low as 350F
UltraCat Meets IndustryPollution Control Requirements
UltraCat catalyst lters are composed of brous ceramic materials mixed with nanobits of proprietary catalyst. This new generation of light weight, ductile ceramic lter is very efcient in removing NOx and other pollutants, including submicron particulate, to extremely low levels. UCF is better for applications over 300F.

Particulate Control
UltraCat lters typically capture particulate to levels less than 0.001 grains/dscf (2.0 mg/ Nm3 ). MACT compliance levels are guaranteed. The unique structure of the lters keeps the collected particles on the surface. The embedded NOx catalyst is protected from blindingand poisoning.

NOx and ammonia react with catalyst to destroy NOx .

NOx and Dioxin Control

The UltraCat lter tubes have nanobits of proprietary catalyst embedded throughout the lter walls, which are about 3/4 thick. The UltraCat can achieve excellent NOx removal at temperatures of 350F and higher. Operating range is approximately 350F to 950F. Aqua ammonia is injected upstream of the lters, reacting with NOx at the catalyst to form harmless nitrogen gas and water vapor, which then exits the system as clean gases. The proprietary catalyst is highly resistant to sulfur poisoning and is protected from particulate contamination because it is embedded inside the lter walls. NOx removal is up to 95%. UltraCat is also very efcient at destroying dioxins, typically over 97%.

SO2, HCI, Acid Gas Control

The UltraCat system can incorporate dry sorbent injection of hydrated lime, sodium bicarbonate, or trona for efcient dry scrubbing of SO2, HCI, HF, and other acid gases. Typical SO2 and HCI results show 90-98% removal.

HAPs and THC Control

Organic HAPs and THC are associated with many industrial processes, such as cement production. These can be removed by the embedded nano-catalyst to below compliance levels at the same time as PM, NOx, and other pollutants.

Mercury Control
The strategy for mercury control depends on the constituents in the ue gas and is analyzed on an individual basis. Levels of mercury control can be achieved through injection of activated carbon of various formulations. Blended sorbents of hydrated lime and activated carbon can remove acid gases, mercury and THC. Other mercury approaches are also compatible with the UltraCat lter system.

Carbon Monoxide Control

Carbon Monoxide (CO) and NOx can be simultaneously destroyed in the range of 500F to 950F, while removing other pollutants.

Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS)

Tri-Mer Cloud Chamber Scrubber is Best Control Technology Available for Fine Particulate and Acid Gas Emissions under 300F.
The Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS) treats PM2.5, ne, submicron, ultrane, and condensable particulate as well as PM10 and more coarse particles. Simultaneously, all soluble acid gases are removed at the same high levels as conventional scrubbers. The CCS is a major advance in multipollutant control devices. Using highly charged water droplets as collectors, the CCS is a proven solution for simultaneously treating ne particles and pollutant gases. The Cloud Chamber Scrubber sets a new performance standard as a 21st century technology. Ultra-low water usage for blowdown discharge of captured pollutants Compatible with integrated NOx system SCR, or Tri-NOx Energy recovery options available

Only 10 watts per 1000 cfm to charge the water droplets, plus moderate pump power for water recirculation Less than 1.5 w.g. pressure drop across the system Gas temperature, particle solubility, resistivity, and reactivity have little effect on performance Handles heavy loadings. Not sensitive to load flux Also removes any gas that can be treated by a wet scrubber, including hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur dioxide (SO2 ), ammonia (NH3 ), and hydrogen sulde (H2S), plus other acids and caustics

CCS is best for applications under 300F. For high temperature applications, see the Tri-Mer UltraCat.

Tri-NOx Multi-Chem NOx Wet Scrubber System

Tri-NOx Handles Any NO/NO2 Ratio, Guarantees a Clear Stack Free of NO2 Plume
Tri-Mers versatile Tri-NOx system accommodates any combination of NO and NO2, including nitration-related NOx, which is typically high on the NO2 scale and combustion-related NOx, which is generally higher in NO. The system also handles N2O4. Tri-NOx technology eliminates the visible plume generated by high NO2 loading. This yellow-brown emission is commonly caused by processes using nitric acid in conjunction with metal rening, metal nishing or chemical nitrations. Tri-NOx systems are efcient, versatile workhorses that adapt to a wide range of requirements. Virtually any target stack output can be met, including reducing loads in excess of 100,000 ppm to below 5 ppm. There are no CFM or PPM limitations on gas input. All Tri-NOx systems are guaranteed to operate within predetermined ppm limits for stack output without repeated adjustments. Tri-NOx is the technology of choice for industry located within districts where NOx emissions are most restrictive. Tri-NOx systems handle highly variable load applications with wide peak/tail proles without a problem. Chemically safe Tri-NOx systems can be engineered to handle NO2 exclusively if opacity is the only problem, or they will handle complete NOx output, (NO + NO2 ), for comprehensive NOx control. The process is applicable to hot and cold gas phase systems. It will handle multiple gas stream residuals, including Cl2, HCl, SO2, other acids, other gases and caustics. Systems can also be designed to handle particulates. This wet chemical non-catalytic system cannot be blinded, and there is no catalyst to poison.

Typical Applications
Pharmaceutical manufacturing Resin manufacturing Catalytic converter manufacturing Catalyst regeneration Metal refining Metal finishing Chemical nitration Solar cell manufacturing Semiconductor manufacturing

Tri-Packs Tower Media

Tri-Packs is the ultimate in random dump tower packing. It provides maximum surface contact between the gas and the scrubbing liquid by facilitating continuous formation of droplets throughout the packed bed. This results in high scrubbing efciency, and minimizes total packing depth required.

Whirl Wet Dust Collector Systems

Tri-Flow Filter System

HEPA Level Performance with a MERV 16 Rating
Tri-Flow Compact lters are a higher-performing alternative to bag, cartridge and pocket filters, which are typically rated MERV 10-13. They have a small footprint, and an exceptionally large lter surface area: Tri-Flow Compact lters provide 2-3 times more ltration compared to similarly dimensioned bag (pocket) lters. An even greater increase in ltration area vs. volume is achieved in comparisons with sleeve-type high efciency lters. The unique Tri-Flow design provides in-line pulse jet cleaning and maintains an exceptionally low operating pressure drop. Filter efciencies of 99.999% on 0.5 micron and larger particles (by weight) are typical. Tri-Flow Compact lters are self-supporting and are manufactured using proprietary lter media tailored to the application. There are 7 lter media, including options for hydrophobic/oleophobic, high temperature and anti-static applications. All media is pleated and continuously bonded for maximum dimensional stability and lter integrity. A resilient mounting ange provides a dust seal that prevents bypass. Existing dust collectors can often be adapted to accommodate Tri-Flow Compact lters.

Whirl Wet Collects Dusts Above 3 Microns at Efciencies of 99% and Higher
The Tri-Mer Whirl Wet is an advanced dust collector system with a smooth interior and encased structure, satisfying the requirements of food processing and pharmaceutical environments. The system requires very little maintenance and uses little water. Water level is maintained automatically, and make-up water is only necessary to compensate for evaporation or sludge removal. It performs equally well for soluble and insoluble dust loads. Units operate 24/7 without shut-down. Whirl Wet does not have any internal moving parts to wear or replace. Rather, its unique, dual-opposed internally mounted blades develop 8 of water gauge. The aggressive action of the liquid and particulate over the blade system makes the unit impossible to clog under operating conditions, so the agglomeration and sticky residues that plug dry dust systems are not an issue with the Whirl Wet. Whirl Wet is the ultimate in streamlined dust collection technology, and does not use lter bags, cartridges or other consumable items. The system is self-cleaning and does not require recirculation pumps and tanks, or complex plumbing. Whirl Wet is manufactured in single unit capacities to 50,000 cfm, in steel, stainless steel, polypropylene and PVC.

Tri-Flow Environmental Control Booth

The Tri-Flow booth with Tri-Flow lter technology is also the only environmental booth customized to the facility. It is ideal for applications demanding high lter efciency, high noise attenuation, and low life cycle cost. Tri-Flow booths operate at very low pressure drop, which minimizes energy use and extends lter life. The Tri-Flow booth does not use hoods or ducting, and tools are not required for lter access.

Packed Bed Acid and Fume Scrubbers

Crossow Scrubbers
Tri-Mers fume scrubber is constructed of UV-stabilized polypropylene, with a mist elimination section. It is completely corrosion-resistant and designed for high inlet concentrations. Tri-Mers fume scrubber is unique in that it features a dual-action system which continually oods the packing media, insuring optimum contact between the contaminant and the packing material. All Tri-Mer horizontal crossow scrubbers are available with mated fan or can be coupled to an existing fan. The Tri-Mer fume scrubber is also available in UV-stabilized PVC and stainless steel. Deep-pack models are available for heavy loadings; for special situations, other scrubber modications such as multiple stages, redundant fans and pumps, and the Ultra-Scrub option can be engineered. Crossow scrubber capacities range through 100,000 cfm.

Fan/Separator
Tri-Mers Fan/Separator controls H2SO4 fumes more efciently than standard wet scrubbers. Fumes generated from steel pickling, hundreds of plating processes, aluminum anodizing and battery charging can be eliminated more efciently and with less water and energy using Tri-Mers easy-to-install Fan/Separator. Fan/Separator scrubber sections and fans are made specically to mate to each other no fan undersizing. Fan outlet velocity is precisely controlled, so air crossing the rigid packed media never exceeds design parameters. The unit is extremely efcient in eliminating corrosive contaminants with a resulting low humidity exhaust stack. This combination of low humidity and high efciency makes return air possible in certain specialized applications incorporating the closed-loop Tri-Mer design. Tri-Mers Fan/Separators can operate in the 99% efciency range, removing fumes containing sulfuric acid, plating exhaust, and corrosive fumes from battery charging operations. Fan/Separator requires less than 1/10 the water of most wet scrubbers and uses 20% less brake horsepower due to its unique design, which incorporates the fan as a centrifuge in the scrubbing process. Single units are available up to 100,000 cfm. UV-stabilized PVC or polypropylene are standard materials of construction; 304 and 316L stainless steel or mild steel are also available.

Vertical Packed Bed Scrubbers

Tri-Mers packed bed tower system is the industry standard for applications of any ow volume. Single and multi-stage packed beds are available with packing depths sized to the application. Systems can be specied with or without recirculation system; integral or remote recirculation is available. Top discharges are provided for customers with existing fans. Construction materials include UV-stabilized polypropylene, stainless steel, berglass and PVC. Tri-Mers vertical scrubber is designed for indoor or outdoor installation. This is a high-efciency wet scrubber that can handle emissions from a wide variety of processes.

Tri-Mer polypropylene tanks are also highly resistant to mechanical abuse.

Special Use Scrubbers

The C/E-1 Advanced Technology Chrome Scrubber
C/E-1 chrome scrubber scrubs all chrome, including Cr6 and Cr3, at efciencies meeting all current environmental codes. The C/E-1 system has an all-mechanical pad design and does not consume chemicals or generate waste. It can be scaled to facilities of all sizes. The C/E-1 chrome scrubber features a multi-layer polypropylene pad system which operates under negative pressure. The lter apparatus is washed continuously in a virtually closed loop conguration. When chrome levels approach set point (generally 3000 ppm), water can be forwarded to chrome recovery, or returned to the plating bath. The Tri-Mer C/E-1 is a low energy system generating less than 6 of internal static pressure, therefore energy consumption is extraordinarily low. Total water use is also low: average consumption is 10 gallons per hour for a 20,000 cfm unit. The C/E-1 chrome scrubber has no internal moving parts to wear or replace. Construction is usually from Type 1 PVC.

Q-Scrub Incinerator Scrubbers
